Description

Moist and flavorful banana muffins made with wholesome ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
  3. Add the applesauce, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added texture, you can fold in 1/4 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
